TV: Bomber in US Embassy attack in Turkey suspected leftist

Turkish police suspect the suicide bomber who attacked the US embassy on Friday, killing himself and a security guard, belonged to a far-left militant group, state broadcaster TRT said.

The bomber, about 30-years-old, used plastic explosives in the attack. He is believed to have spent time in prison on terrorism-related charges and was a member of the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C), TRT said. (Reuters)
